After that, we went next door for 50% off sushi (after 9:30pm). I went buckwild and ordered 18 pieces of salmon sushi to start. People always give me weird looks becau...Read more
Boo yah! Finished 400 words of the 4000 word feature. 10% done!
Now I'm gonna take a break to show respect to Magic Johnson, who turned 50 a few days ago.
Magic Johnson will always be the greatest Laker ever to any true Laker fan. As dominating as Shaq and Kareem was and as thrilling and Jordan-like as Kobe is, they can never measure up to what Magic did. He didn't just bring "winning" to Los Angeles. He brought charm, joy, and a smile to LA.
Remember in 1991 when Magic announced he had HIV? At the time, we...Read more
Update:
Check out this great piece on how the NBA almost died in the 70s because of race issues and how Magic helped pushed the racism aside. Seriously, in today's day and age where NBA players and rappers mugs can be found on billboards all around the world, it's hard to imagine that even in its own native land, people were having trouble accepting black people just 20 plus years ago. The Breaks of the Game isn...Read more
Geez, I thought freelance work paid pretty well, and it is at first glance--the pay for one job is like, 20%--25% of my then-monthly salary. But as I've spent the last 5 hours working on this hip hop piece, I realized that this thing has consumed my life the past few weeks. Yes, I've worked on a Holga story on the side but I was always thinking about this 4000 word feature. I spent this afternoon reading Can't Stop Won't Stop at a bookstore. Didn't buy it cause I'm midway through five books right now and I can't d...Read more

The feature in today's City section of SCMP is interesting and a great read. No, not just because of the subject nature (it's about porn magazines in Hong Kong). But it's actually about the hot topic as of late--how online is affecting print media.
The story talks about how porn magazines in HK have suffered a huge drop in circulation, from like 60,000 monthly to 6000 a month. But the publishers remain optimistic that the net won't kill off the mag, even though he says "the internet is too powerful". <...Read more
Theres a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And its whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

--Check out this (unintentionally) hilarious piece on hand models in NY Mag. Well it's unintention comedy by the hand models, I'm sure the NY Mag writer had a chuckle or two when they wrote it. Freaking hand model man, I always think of David Duchovny in Zoolander everytime. Check out what this hand model said about conveying emotion through her hands...
